Adam Rohman is head of Americas at Hyatt Hotels Corp, effective July 1, succeeding Pete Sears after his retirement. He will oversee operations across the Americas region and brand strategy for the Classics and Essentials portfolios.
Rohman currently serves as Hyatt’s senior vice president for investor relations, global financial planning and analysis, and treasurer, the company said in a statement. A search for his successor is underway.
“Adam is a highly respected leader with deep knowledge of our business, strong relationships across our organization and a track record of disciplined, strategic leadership,” said Mark Hoplamazian, Hyatt’s chairman, president and CEO. “I have great confidence in Adam as he leads the Americas region into its next chapter and continues building on the foundation established under Pete’s leadership.”
Rohman began his career in on-property finance roles before advancing through finance and operational leadership positions, the company said. He has held roles including senior vice president of finance for the Americas and global head of asset management.
Hoplamazian said Adam understands the business and values relationships with owners, operators, guests, and colleagues.
“His leadership style and commitment to Hyatt’s culture position him well for this role,” he said.
Sears and Rohman will work closely to ensure a smooth transition, with Sears continuing as a senior advisor after June 30 to support continuity on key priorities and relationships.
In March, Hyatt appointed Julienne Smith as head of Americas growth, overseeing the Luxury, Lifestyle, Classics and Essentials brands.
Separately, Hyatt reported higher RevPAR, fee-based earnings and development activity in the first quarter despite regional headwinds. Systemwide RevPAR rose 5.4 percent year over year for the three months ended March 31, driven by luxury demand and all-inclusive resorts.
